This project explores the emotional and cultural dynamics of artificial intelligence (AI) development across four global sites—Canada, the UK, India, and the US—by examining how emotions shape decision-making, productivity, and well-being within distributed teams. Focusing on the workplace processes of a leading transnational AI firm, the research addresses critical industry challenges in managing intercultural collaboration […]

Lyme disease is a tick-borne infection caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi. It requires early detection for effective antibiotic treatment. Unfortunately, Lyme disease is hard to diagnose, and current tests require trained scientists, specialized lab settings, and expensive equipment. Here, the project aims to develop a quick, low-cost, and user-friendly test for Lyme disease that […]

Musculoskeletal conditions, such as sarcopenia and frailty, have been documented to affect over one billion individuals globally. To address the escalating issues of muscle atrophy, resistance training (RE) has been widely recognized for preserving and enhancing muscle mass. However, individuals nowadays often face time constraints, making it challenging to consistently engage in RE. Considering this, […]

Artificial intelligence promises to dramatically accelerate preclinical biomedical research, yet ensuring it provides accurate and relevant information remains a challenge. Current approaches may fabricate references and often lack the context needed to fully address scientific questions. Consequently, AI has not been widely adopted for applications such as hit selection from biological screens or experiment design. […]

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been utilized as a space lubricant due to its suitability for vacuum environments. While MoS2 lubricants were adequate for early spacecraft, the increasing duration of missions has heightened the demands on these lubricants, necessitating ultrahigh wear lives extending from months to decades. To overcome these limitations, MoS2 has been co-deposited with […]
